A HIGH PRICED RESTAURANT.
A Nervous Farmer Wrestles with
u Bill of Fare-A Big Mistake.


n Bill of Fare-A Big Mistake.
A farmer, racked between the serene
conviction that he belonged to the
only class of people that has any real
right to live and the uncomfortable
realization that he was in place
where he did not know what to do or
how to do it, wandered into the high
est priced restaurant in Kansas City
at noon the other day. A waiter deftly
seated him before he had decided
whether or not to take off his
oyercoat. A bill of fare was laid be-
fore him, and he pondered it with the
expression his face would probably
have worn if he had been given ten
lines of Greek to translate, with the
alternative of decapitation in case of
failure. He glanced sidewise at a
real estate man who was waiting for
his luncheon, but found no relief in
the impassive countenance Of his ta-
BILE companion. Then he looked up
ward covertly and found the
waiter regarding him with a
stony stare. The most utter
ly miserable man in Kansas City
at that moment was the ruralist, al
though he determinedly refused to
lose sight of his conviction that he was
the salt of the earth, while real estate
men and restaurant walters we're a
very inferior sort of condiment. He
fumbled the bill of fare in hopeless
confusion. Then he cleared his throat
and said to the impending waiter:
81 guess you can gimme some corn
beef an cabbige."
"Corn beef an cabbage" echoed
the waiter, with no change of counte-
nance. "All right, SIR"
Hole on minute" said the
farmer nervously, as his eye caught a
familiar line ON the card, "gimme
salt mackerel instead O. the corn beef
an cabbige."
"Salt mackerel; all right, sir" said
the waiter.
An hole on ag'in," said the farmer,
rapidly gaining confidence in himself
~ he noticed the walters obsequious-
ness. Then, with something of DOM
ineering tone, he added: "Don't be
in so much of hurry. Bring me a
line o. vegetables with the mackerel,
O'course."
"What vegetables will you have,
sir" asked the waiter.
"Why, vegetables for a meal, O.
course. Some 'sparagus an some
corn an some lettis an some string
beans an'-got any new potatoes?"
Eyes, sir"
"Some new potatoes an some green
peas an some onions an some cab
bige an all o. the things that goes to
make up a meal" said the diner,
with mental visions of the infnitesimal
of "side dishes" that he
had encountered in a Irregular din
ner--25 cents" house somewhere.
"All right, sir" said the imperturb-
able waiter with reassuring drawl OF
the "all."
After waiting several minutes, dur
ing which the ruralist relapsed into
his uncomfortable self-conscious con-
ditiOn, the waiter arrived with the
order. The diners eyes bulged with
when he saw half the
table covered with huge
plates bearing the items of
his dinner. After staring hope
lessly for minute he began to eat,
by the conviction that
there had been a gigantic mistake
When he had finished,
for an ordinary family re-
NAMED untouched. The waiter slip
ped q check under the edge OF his
p1ate and the wretched man took it upl
clnndestinely and looked at the
nxnount Of his bill. 1t was in the
seighborhood Of $3.50 Kansas City
